In the video shared, Priyadarshan expressed how grateful he felt to work with Mohanlal on his 100th film. The Oppam director said, “My first film, as well as the first script I ever wrote, had Mohanlal as the lead. Now, my 100th film would also feature Lal in the lead role, which is something rarer than even a blue moon.”
Previously, Mohanlal and Priyadarshan had teamed up for Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham (Marakkar: Lion of the Arabian Sea), an epic historical drama that was released in 2021.
Mohanlal’s work front
Mohanlal is next set to appear on the big screen in Drishyam 3, directed by Jeethu Joseph. The crime thriller is scheduled to release on April 2, 2026, although it is rumored to be postponed due to the unavailability of release slots in GCC countries.
Lalettan is currently filming his next project, tentatively titled L366, directed by Tharun Moorthy, with Meera Jasmine as the co-lead. The film is expected to be released during the Pooja holidays this year.
Moreover, the superstar will make cameo appearances in Rajinikanth’s Jailer 2, Prithviraj Sukumaran-starrer Khalifa: Part 1, and his daughter Vismaya Mohanlal’s debut film, Thudakkam.
